    One of my very best friends (Lance) came with me and Shaun to Moab Utah for Easter Jeep Safari. We had a day to ourselves while Shaun was out driving Jeep Concept Cars..so we wanted to do a proper Rock Crawling Trail. We wound up driving this trail for about 9 hours (we went slow, filmed, and just enjoyed ourselves)..and it was one of my most favorite days on the trail ever. Period. I now get why folks love Rock Crawling and Rock Landing. I got to know my Jeep much better, and understand what it's capable of, and we had the entire trail to ourselves all day long..it was just awesome. I ALSO had a full on anxiety/panic attack while flying the drone. I misjudged the lookout ledge and when I flew my drone over the edge, I got vertigo and an anxiety attack..something that's never happened to me before. We then had to drive a ledge road that pitched into the cliff...and I was very glad when we turned away from the ledge. But hey, what's a day on the trail without a little drama??

    The most real/down to earth Moab video I’ve seen. No shame in it, love this! Lots of us have done the logging roads and even some trails, and when on this type of terrain, I’m sure a lot of us would feel the same way. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Excellent video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    It’s always nice when your vehicle is way more capable then you realize. You took your bumper ends off for better approach but you didn’t take advantage of it, by hitting the approach on a slight angle.

    I subscribed awhile back so I can't help you with that. But what a good trip that shows what a Wrangler and Bronco for that matter is capable of. I have never tried that kind of trail but have gone off road similar to overlanding. Every time I go out I have more confidence in myself and my Jeep. Thanks for taking me along on this ride.

    @t.o.f.t.s. 2 месяца назад +2

    Just got back. Had a blast!
    Tip: If you approach the bigger ledges at a 45° Angle instead of head-on, you can get a tire up and turn into it to get the 2nd tire on, then square up on the obstacle. Approaching head on limits your options. Especially for Lance/Bronco, since his winch sticks out so far.
    PS..if you don't like heights stay away from Top of The World trail. 😅

    • @Venture2Roam
      @Venture2Roam  2 месяца назад +2

    • @Venture2Roam
      @Venture2Roam  2 месяца назад

      I mean...they are both incredible vehicles...seems like we should just let them do their thing and not worry about too much comparison. Lots more coming with these to rigs on the trail together. I'm sure we'll compare some stuff..but only for fun.

    This was fantastic. I've seen you and your Jeep in the TSTN videos, so it was nice to see this land in my feed.

Also - thank you for the time and effort in licensing some great tunes for the soundtrack. It's nice (and unexpected) to hear a bit of Pantera and Twenty One Pilots instead of the same royalty free stuff on the other channels!

    You showing excellent video of a venture in the Moab region (weeks back) with a group, on a challenging route. I guess if one has the tires, lift & drivers know how, it all works out. Good job and thanks. Myself, we were in Canyonlands Maze area (DH# 3) April 25-27, the other party a 96, 80 Series Land Cruiser, 4 inch lift & 35 inch tires. Her husband Dan, asked by Greg Milller to leave NM , years back, & help set up the Toyota Land Cruiser museum, where he now works. Sarah was at the Moab Cruiser fest for 5 days before joining us in Green River, & then our (next day) 8 hour drive to our camp site, Four of us, cool temps & some rain -we saw a lot in our hiking. We exited via Hite (route) got to Hanksville (sway bar problems) and then back to GR (late). Days later the flashing sway bar light was fixed - dirt, debris, water on the connectors. No drones allowed where we were, you, are skillful in your artful rendition of your travels. I'm happy you survived & didn't have a 'real anxiety attack'.

    I have been all over Idahos backroads and backcountry driving and hiking. Most of it when I was younger. I have never liked heights, always got my nerves up I kept my distance from the edge and tried to limit looking over. I would look out rather than down. For work I have climbed several stories on scaffolding I have climbed 100 foot grain silos with out climbing cages or safety gear. However the older I get the more it gets to me and the harder it becomes to overcome it. The idea of driving the trails around Moab is exciting to me however I know I would freeze up on so many of the ledge roads and knife edge ridges.

    I can understand the ledge feeling. You tell yourself it's no big deal, but, when you get there, the feeling of how close you are to going over, can mess with your head.

    The challenge is to know how far you can go without damaging the rig. Someday I will talk the wife in heading back to Moab. Great trail but not for me.

      Great point. We did take some trail damage on this..but nothing serious...just skid plates and a smashed bumper guard on my front bumper. But I have to tell you...it really wasn't that hard..that slickrock is incredible to drive on.

      Trail rating of 7 or greater will cause some trail damage. Hopefully not cause your rig non-drivable, but you are guaranteed to some scars & damage to your vehicle

    Isn’t that jeep a 392 on 37’s? Um ya, you are fearless? Just kidding because if it ever gets un intimidating you need a new hobby. But what I think you proved is that you could have saved a lot of money in vehicle and fuel to do what you’ve done prior, tool or toy? That is the question. I’ve had several toys that needed to be welded on the trail to get home and I soon joined the tool camp. Well done!
